Complying With Missouri Vehicle Insurance Requirements
Complying With Missouri Vehicle Insurance Requirements: It is in the best interest of a MO resident to comply with the financial responsibility laws of the Show Me State to avoid any sort of citation and carry proof of vehicle insurance at all times. Drivers caught without an vehicle policy by law enforcement officer may be cited and can lead to penalties that should have been avoided by maintaining coverage.
A conviction of “failing to show proof of insurance,” can lead to a four point assessment to a driver’s record, and an order of supervision can be ordered which means that failure to keep coverage current can result in the suspension of driving privileges.
Missourians may only be mandated to maintain liability coverage to be within compliance with state laws to cover injuries or damages sustained by a third party, the Missouri Department of Revenue reports that there are thousands of motorists who are involved in accidents who do not have the proper coverage required by the state. This means that all of the other law abiding citizens who pay for vehiclemobile policies may have to pay higher rates for coverage to make up for the void of premiums that are not being paid and subsequently compensate for losses suffered by insurers. It is never worth the risk to drive uninsured and motorists should take it upon themselves to ensure that they are protected at all times.
